I. INTRODUCTION
In modern SMPS, transformers are inimitable
components since some of the applications demand
electrical isolation, multiple output and high stepdown/step-up ratios [1]. Recent works on coreless PCB
transformers provides the scope to introduce the high
power density, high speed SMPS [2], [3]. In these works,
some of the misconceptions of
air core PCB
transformers such as low magnetic coupling, low voltage
gain, low input impedance were clarified for both signal
and power transfer applications. Another major
misunderstanding of coreless PCB transformers is high
radiated EMI because of absence of core. The transformer
which is of highly energy efficient without passing the
EMC tests is of no use., Therefore, it is necessary for
estimation of the amount of EMI emissions from the
transformer which is also useful to determine EMI
sources in the Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS). As
it would be better for reducing the delays in product
development and increased cost of production, prior
